I was expecting something else. But I guess they've been watching ESPN a lot, ... I saw a lefty warming up, so I thought they'd bring him in, but they didn't. I'm so happy that Manny got hit. |
I was looking at the schedule, bro. New York has seven games left with Baltimore. That's bad news. |
I was talking to him during the game, and the way I heard him talking it reminded me when he pitched that one game in New York last year where he was bleeding to death. He's very positive. And, you know him. When he feels that way, look out. |
I'm an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude. |
I'm getting pitches to hit and swinging. Once you get your pitch, keep swinging, |
I'm just trying to break the rules, |
I'm just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters. |
I'm not involved with it. I don't know what's going on. I'm just thinking about the season coming up right now. Hopefully I stay here for the rest of my career. I like it here. |
I'm not thinking home run, I just want to put a good swing on the ball. When you go looking for home runs, you get off of your swing. So you don't think of homers when you go up to the plate. |
I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with being famous. I guess that some guys are a little bit afraid. If you don't want to be famous, just step away. Other people are afraid to face the challenge. Some people like to be famous, some people don't. Some people do their thing, but they're afraid to be recognized. |
I'm still sort of fighting myself. Every year it's the same. You start a little off of where you want to be. I'm not going to see too many good pitches to hit, so I've got to make my adjustments as I can. |
I've been here four years and that is the best team they've had. |
I've been here four years and that might be the best team I've seen that they have. |
I've never seen anybody hit a ball harder than that guy. |
If I hit a homer, it doesn't matter. We still would have been down by a bunch of runs. I was trying to at least get on base. If Manny hits a homer, we're closer. |
